Kalla Pattar, Nepal

Me at a 16,000' pass surrounded by chortens honoring dead climbers; Himalaya in background

In October 2000 I made a trip to Nepal. The climax of this trip was to climb the 18,400' summit Kalla Pattar located at the base of Mt. Pumori and Mt. Everest. This trek took 2 and a half weeks in the field to complete and almost a month away from home.

Here are a few pictures from this awesome trip:
